From Missouri Botanical Garden:

Geranium × cantabrigiense is a sterile hybrid geranium developed in 1974 by Dr. Helen Kiefer of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden in Cambridge, England, by crossing G. macrorrhizum (female parent) and G. dalmaticum (male parent). Plants spread by trailing stems to form a foliage carpet to 8-12” tall spreading to 18” wide or more. Foliage consists of aromatic, deeply-cut, 7-lobed, glossy light green, palmate, semi-evergreen leaves (to 3 1/2” wide). Long-persisting, white to pink sterile flowers (to 1” wide) bloom from late spring into early/mid-summer with a sporadic rebloom sometimes continuing to fall. Cultivars of this hybrid expand the color range of the flowers to include shades of red and purple. Plants grow well in rock gardens or as ground covers.
